get_tweets returns 0 tweets when replies=True with cursor

[hauselin]

I'm using get_tweets and have already retrieved many pages of tweets, and I'm using cursors. But at some point, after retrieving hundreds of pages, it starts returning 0 tweets, but only when replies=True (see cursor_pages900 below). Any reason why that might be happening? Thanks!

from tweety import Twitter
app = Twitter("session")
app.sign_in(username, password)

user = "elonmusk"

# cursor from getting just 1 page of tweets: get_tweets(pages=1)
cursor_page001 = "DAABCgABGHOu41v__-QKAAIYc06G79Yg4AgAAwAAAAIAAA"  
# cursor from getting more than 900 pages of tweets
cursor_page900 = "DAABCgABGG3fhij_8VYKAAIYGUieVhahQQgAAwAAAAIAAA" 

tweets_replies = app.get_tweets(user, replies=False, cursor=cursor_page001)
# UserTweets(user_id=44196397, count=18)
tweets_replies = app.get_tweets(user, replies=True, cursor=cursor_page001)
# UserTweets(user_id=44196397, count=20)

tweets_replies = app.get_tweets(user, replies=False, cursor=cursor_page900)
# UserTweets(user_id=44196397, count=19)
tweets_replies = app.get_tweets(user, replies=True, cursor=cursor_page900)
# UserTweets(user_id=44196397, count=0)  why 0 tweets retrieved???

1. Same Cursor can't be used for 'with_replies' and 'without_replies'

Thanks! Regarding the second point, are you referring to this: "Tweets of a User can be fetched of last 7-10 days only, for going beyond that use Search method." Also, does the search method return all tweets or just a (random) subset of matching tweets?

Using advance search will give you tweets only for that query

Will give that a shot. Thanks!
